Default Re: POLL: How Do You Play?

I think the devs liked the idea also. Particularly I pushed for it as a host switch as another option to handle players suddenly having to take a break.

But if I remember the conversation there is something about going AI which makes changes that are almost impossible to undo afterward. Too much rewrite and moving around of code to get it.

On the other hand, I have kindof done it in some games. Overfill certain provinces building queues. Set everyone for re-occurring actions so that they will at least do something. Then host for a few turns, rinse, repeat. It gets me to the next important change to the game (usually a magic research that Im in a hurry for)
